List of Southwest Montana Campsites Where Campfires Are Legal After Stage One Restrictions

As of August 1, nearly all of southwestern Montana will be under stage one fire restrictions. The new restrictions bring limitations to both smokers and campers that all Montana residents should be aware of.

“The rule regarding smoking is that, if you do so outside of your car or an enclosed building, you’ve gotta be in a spot that is clear of flammable vegetation for at least a minimum of a three foot circle around you,” said Missoula County Fire Prevention Association Spokesman Chris Johnson.

Below is a list of some of the different management areas where a campfire is permitted.
